The Miami Heat are known for being able to find guys. They can take a guy thrown on the trash pile and proceed to rejuvenate or recreate the player, making them a pro-level guy.

While that is the case with more than a few names, there is no more shining of an example than Duncan Robinson. A once undrafted guy that started Division III, he’s now a near-$100 million dollar man in the NBA, all off a pretty wicked jump-shot.
